Resource lineage

Statement
Areas were sampled following transects from the coastline to 1500m from the coastline. The sampling method resembled a "zigzag" pattern at 200m intervals. Depth and positional point data from a Simrad ES60 120 kHz single beam echo sounder and an Omniliote132 differential GPS were captured using the Simrad ES60 logging software. The raw echo data from the Simrad ES60 echo sounder was used to discriminate habitat type in the Software Package EchoView 3.30. The point dataset was checked for extraneous data, cleaned and converted to point shapefiles using ESRI ARCGIS Version 9.1.
